TruckLA video and warranty

[Ziggy Stardust]

So someone posted the TruckLA video on one of my posts and it was made in 2019. Just a few questions for you all in the know of all things Tesla. Also I will say that would actually fit the bill for what we need a truck for in our case.

So what model was used for the TruckLA?

Would doing that mod to a new Tesla vehicle void the Tesla warranty?

Would a business get in trouble from Tesla for doing this mod or something close and then selling them if they found a way to do it and still make a fair profit?

Just curious and the TruckLA reminds me of the old El Camino's from the mid 60 to the 70's with a roof rack put on.

A model 3 was used. I think it’s impossible to guess magnisun moss act outcomes. Most of the time it would require court review. I saw that brcause there is assumptive reason that this would 100% void warranty at face value.

Model 3 as per this post in the other thread.

Would expect it to void warranty as pertains to body and maybe the frame. If the battery and motors were untouched, you might have a case that they were still covered.

Years ago, before Apple introduced the iPad tablet, you could get a third-party Apple-compatible tablet called the "Modbook". A company called Axiotron bought genuine Apple MacBook laptops, then tore them apart, repackaged them in tablet format, and marketed them. Apple is notoriously protective and litigious, but there was nothing they could do about the Modbook except void the warranty and refuse to service them. It was legal for Axiotron to buy, modify, and resell MacBooks, as long as they were not represented as Apple products or as Apple-approved products.

Modbook tablets were quite expensive, because the price included the purchase of a genuine Apple laptop. And they only came with an Axiotron warranty, not an Apple warranty. There was no reason to buy a Modbook after Apple developed their own tablet, so Axiotron went out of business long ago.

In the same way, if a business legally buys Tesla vehicles, then it should be legal for them to modify those vehicles, and it should be legal for them to resell them as used vehicles. All Tesla can do is void the original warranty, and insist that the vehicles are not represented as Tesla products or as Tesla-approved products.
